You are about to create your personal fundraising page (also called a Fund). You are the Champion.

Tell your story about why you are running, give details about the race and encourage supporters to donate and cheer for you on race day. Update your page frequently with your training progress to keep supporters engaged.

To add a more personal touch you can make this Fund in honor or memory of someone. If you do they are the Fund Honoree. They or a family member can be notified as donations are received.

Once you complete these easy steps, your page will be available immediately online. You'll have access to the Champion Center where you can begin sending emails to friends and family and make updates to your page at any time.

Thank you for the incredible commitment you are making.
